Book Reviews of Prescription For Nutritional Healing - A Practical A-z Reference To Drug-free Remedies...
Book Review: healing by nutrition
Summary: 4 Stars
Reviewing a product of this nature, I first check the credentials of the author(s). No problem here. He is a medical doctor, and his co-author wife is a certified nutritionist. Appropriate credentials for the subject in question. As an overview, the book details the treatment of ailments from A-Z by the use of herbs and such. It is well written, well organized, and thorough. The first part explains the concept of nutrients, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, among others, and is tutorial in nature. The mid section covers a myriad of alphabatized ailments explained along with the recommended herbs for treatment and is primarily a look up reference when needed. The final section covers remedies, presumably originating from folk lore. I am aware that many medicines originate from plants (including herbs); however, I also realize that many of the healing herbs are medicines in their own right, can have unpredictable and dangerous side effects, and their purity, potency, and prescribed use are not regulated like pharmaceuticals. The phrase "The layman who is his own doctor, has a fool for a patient" comes to mind, and for that reason I gave this title 4 stars in fear that a less critical reader may blindly follow the recommendations without due consideration of the possible consequences. I do believe that at least one of these herbs can cause severe and irreversible liver damage if used improperly. Far from a physician, I may be tempted to try such recommendations if a situation arose, but even then I would proceed with CAUTION. I still recommend the book for the tutorial on nutrition, the explanations of how the organs function, their various ailments and possible causes and it will remain on my book shelf. Hope this has been helpful and not over-reviewed.
